Configuring IoT Transport Stream

An IoT Internet of Things. IoT refers to the internetworking of devices that are embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity features allowing data exchange over the Internet. transport stream can be created for an AP group with APs running AOS-8.

To create an IoT transport stream for an AOS 8.x AP group, complete the following procedure:

  1. In the WebUI, set the filter to an AOS-8 AP group.
  2. Under Manage, click Devices.
  3. Click the Config icon.
  4. Click Show Advanced.
  5. Click IoT tab.
  6. In the IoT Transport Streams table, click Add IoT Transport Stream icon.
  7. Configure the following IoT transport stream parameters and click Save Settings.
